If you can type better on a keyboard, and your main concern is communication (with keyboard), wouldn't common sense say not to buy a storm?
The tour doesn't seem that much different in media capability to me as the curves and past bb's. Other than increased memory and speed, and 3G. I dunno, just trying to help you make a decision. My vote is for a bb with real keyboard. Good luck in your search!
I can type faster on the storm then the iPhone but its initial design was definitely touted as a touchscreen device that allows you to type well. Which it does a pretty good job at it.
I like media as much as the next guy so I don't believe the storm was or is a waste for me but I definitely am looking forward to typing out long emails on a keyboard
